@EndlessMason @nflux @BlueSCSI well, @furrtek did that for the #NeoGeoCD, the #NeoCDSDloader...

Cuz with anything not using COTS parts it's really kinda hard.

• #TeamXecuter canceled their #ODE, the #XODE because they didn't get it feasible before it got sunset...

TBH, #modding a #7thGen or even #8thGen #modding is just a necessity.

• Even if it's just so one doesn't have to pay scalper prices for laptop HDDs that are out of production for over a decade [ #Xbox360 ] and enjoy the speed of a good 2TB SATA SSD not being choked by a USB 2.0 controller...

In fact, the only thing that sadly doesn't exist is an #ODE for it.

• Sadly the #XODE wasn't made by #TeamXecuter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQxvA61OI7U

@natsume_shokogami @fuchsiii @gamingonlinux *nodds in agreement*

AFAIK all those #Projects are doing #Cleanroom #Emulation because that has been de-jure safe from litigation in terms of claims fo "using stolen IP/trade secrets/documentation" as they basically fuzz around to make stuff work.

In fact, even big corporations like #EA did that: In order to pressure #SEGA to give them a better #Licensing deal for #Megadrive / #Genesis game releases they did cleanroom-#ReverseEngineer the #CopyProtection system (unlike #Atari / #Tengen they didn't blatantly copy code!) and then basically went to SEGA and told them that if they don't get the deal the way they want it they'd release their compatible cartridges and not pay a single cent to the Platform Owner...

And SEGA did bow before them.

#Nintendo's arguments against #yuzu are as flimsy as those against the #GameGenie were:

Both neither allow #piracy of retail games nor allow running #homebrew on retail systems.

That happened due to fuckups by Nintendo & #nvidia:

Unlike the #MIGswitch which is basically a #piracy #cartridge allegedly made by #TeamXecuter...
